Description: Cased .36-caliber English Cane Gun . . . circa 1849  by E.M. Reilly & Company. Until the 1800s, specialist carvers, metal workers, and artisans produced canes and walking sticks by hand. However, the popularity of fashion and gadget canes fueled a market for their mass manufacture and subsequently helped lead to their demise. Canes became less artistic and reflective of current fashions.

Comment: Use of "EM"(post 1858) but no 315 New Oxford subsidiary on the label (pre 1859).

Comment: Note Paris Exhibition Medals 1867 but no Rue Scribe, Paris address…indicating it could have made between August 1867 and February 1868
